Product Description

It’s bedtime, and Emily can’t find her favorite stuffed animal, Mr. Teddy. She looks everywhere, but he’s nowhere to be found! She picks up Quackers the Duck instead. “Night- night, Quackers,” she says. But even with a substitute, Emily can’t sleep. So she gets up and finds Stripe the Cat. Then Hoots the Owl. Soon, the bed is getting crowded! But Emily still can’t fall asleep, until she finally finds Mr. Teddy. The text is rhythmic and illustrations sweetly serene.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-A sweet, if not very original, bedtime story about a little girl who can't fall asleep without her favorite bear. While trying to get comfortable, Emily collects one stuffed toy after another, until the bed is filled with animals. When she discovers Mr. Teddy hiding under her pillow, she puts the others back in their places, one by one, and snuggles under the covers. This time, however, Mr. Teddy is unable to sleep as each animal climbs back in, and once again the bed is too full. Small children will relate to this cozy, familiar situation. Filled with homey details, the full-page watercolors are warm and inviting. A good choice for nighttime sharing.

Customer Reviews

Emily Loves It!
I bought this for my granddaughter Emily's 3rd birthday and her father says she wants it read to her every night.

A great bedtime story!
This is a cute little story about a little girl who finds it hard to fall asleep without her favorite teddy bear. She then proceeds to collect one stuffed toy after another and brings each one into bed with her, until she discovers dear old Mr Teddy! She puts the other toys away, and just as Emily & Mr Teddy settle down to sleep, Teddy finds the other toys creeping back under the covers:) A wonderful tale for bedtime sharing, and the illustrations are delightful!

Love this cute book.
With a daughter named Emily, I just had to buy this book and I am thrilled that I did. It is a wonderful bedtime story.
